Camas pilot drops 18th district bid

John Ley, a Delta Airlines captain from Camas, has withdrawn his name from the District 18, Position 2 state representative race to replace retiring Republican Rep. Liz Pike.

“The people deserve a representative who can give 100 percent of their time and energy fighting for the people,” Ley said in a press release sent to media outlets April 16. “Events in my personal life have changed and I can’t make that commitment any longer.”
